PSG 2-0 Bayern: Pacho & Lucas sent pff, Doue & Dembele send Parisians to Semis

Paris Saint-Germain are through to the Club World Cup semi-finals after beating Bayern Munich 2-0 despite finishing the game with nine players.

Match Report

Desire Doue scored the breakthrough goal in the 78th minute, wrongfooting Manuel Neuer after Harry Kane had been dispossessed in the centre circle, but it was an awkward finale for the European champions when they had two players sent off.

Willian Pacho's studs-up challenge was punished with a straight red card by English official Anthony Taylor and in the 92nd minute Lucas Hernandez suffered the same fate when he proceeded to elbow Raphael Guerreiro on the jaw in full view of the referee.

But Luis Enrique's side made light of those losses by scoring with a stunning counter-attack after Achraf Hakimi beat three players to set up substitute Ousmane Dembele, who finished emphatically having struck the underside of the bar just seconds earlier.

Bayern had no answer, even seeing a penalty decision overturned when VAR deemed Nuno Mendes' challenge on Thomas Muller, making what will be his final appearance for the German champions, to be a fair one. Vincent Kompany's side are out.

Musiala injury mars game for Bayern

It was a miserable afternoon for Bayern in Atlanta, particularly as Jamal Musiala suffered a serious injury in the first half. Gianluigi Donnarumma clattered into his leg when collecting the ball, resulting in the ugly sight of Musiala dislocating his ankle.

Players from both sides were visibly distressed by the incident that will surely result in the talented Germany international missing a chunk of the forthcoming Bundesliga season, with the World Cup also coming up in the United States next summer.

PSG's journey in North America is far from over, however. While the loss of Pacho will be a problem for the semi-final, against either Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund, they remain on course to add the Club World Cup to their Champions League win in Munich.
